Tucked away in a small town in Wisconsin is Bel Brands USA's Little Chute plant, the smaller of its two cheese plants. Last October the plant was the first of Bel's to get the Foundation for Food Safety Certification (FSSC) 22000. The Leitchfield, KY, plant is also in the process of getting certified. According Ed Blascak, the plant director at Little Chute, the 144,000-square-foot plant was one of the two within the state of Wisconsin that received FSSC 22000, at that time. The FSSC 22000 encompasses food safety, employee safety and the entire manufacturing process itself. Food safety measures are the basis of FSSC 22000 -- a complete food safety program. They have document control, food safety records, hazard analysis, HACCP plan management, inspection labeling and traceability, internal audits, etc, he said. Events like with the recent certification and employee anniversaries are celebrated with luncheons or dinners.
